teacher Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Had to go back to Distrowatch and play around teo find the mirror site. That one just did not want to work. Mirror sites gave me a list to choose from. I managed to find one with a decent download speed so I might play with this one today since tomorrow it's back to work. Our hurricane holiday is over. By the way Quint, I noticed those that knew what they were doing were pulling in a decent number of fish surf fishing yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owyn Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 doubt it likes nvidia drivers any better thoNot sure why people have been complaining about Nvidia. I have use RH9 and Knoppix 3.2-2003-09-05 on my test desktop (only one with Nvidia) without obvious problems. NVidia Riva TNT2 Model 64.......Have not tested any 3d operations. Just 2d. But no obvious problems. In both Linux cases I have used drivers from install without any changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havnblast Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 It's the GeForceFX 5200 - display works and all, it does a default driver, but it doesn't do the 3D acceleration and I can't change resolutions or enable the GUI effects like transparency.I still use Knoppix and have followed a couple directions on how to compile the nvidia into Debian, but unsuccessful as of yet to get it to work. From what I read all to get the nvidia drivers working with Debian they have to be compiled into the kernal - that is where I am having my problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsden11 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 It also does not like the nVidia Network drivers found on many ASUS boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
